Linux trustees 2.6 by Vyacheslav L. Zavadsky (http://freshmeat.net/users/zavadsky/) Monday, September 24th 2001 15:27 Categories: Security, System :: Filesystems, System :: Systems Administration About: The main goal of the Linux Trustees project is to create an advanced permission management system for Linux. The solution proposed is mainly inspired by the approach taken by Novell Netware and the Java security API. Special objects (called trustees) can be bound to every file or directory. The trustee object can be used to ensure that access to a file, directory, or directory with subdirectories is granted (or denied) to a certain user or group (or all except user or group). Trustees are like POSIX ACLs, but trustee objects can affect entire subdirectory trees, while ACLs a single file. Changes: Compatibility with Linux kernels 2.4.8, 2.4.9, and 2.4.10.
